Nuwa Becomes a Saint, Mysterious Figure Attacks

After creating humans, Nuwa suddenly had an epiphany. The Primordial Violet Qi became restless, and the confusion she had felt in the past was instantly cleared.

"Self-Corpse, sever."

Nuwa grabbed the Gourd Vine and struck herself, and the Self-Corpse slowly materialized behind her.

The Self-Corpse was successfully severed!

Nuwa officially became a Quasi-Saint with three corpses.

It's worth noting that the original Nuwa only achieved sainthood with one corpse. The current Nuwa was far stronger than before.

Sensing that the opportunity to prove her Dao was ripe, Nuwa immediately flew into the void to begin her ascension.

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Nuwa. Today, I have created a new life form called the Human Race! By creating the Human Race, I shall receive great fortune. Now, I comprehend the Primordial Violet Qi, entrust my Primordial Spirit to the Heavenly Dao, and establish myself as a Saint! From this moment on, I shall be free from karma and tribulations, immortal and indestructible."

As the oath concluded, the largest cloud of Merit in history appeared from the void.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi quickly communicated with the Heavenly Dao using his divine sense.

"Father, your son has become a Dao Companion with Nuwa. This is also one of Nuwa's few opportunities to gain Merit. I hope Father can bestow more Merit."

The Heavenly Dao naturally would not refuse Xuan Yi's request, especially since Nuwa was also his daughter-in-law.

The Heavenly Dao had an abundance of Merit and would naturally not be stingy.

Another mass of Merit, similar in size to the original, appeared.

"Thank you, Father!"

Xuan Yi smiled as the Merit appeared, thinking how great it was to have such a wealthy father.

With the descent of Merit, the entire Primordial World brightened.

The first batch of Merit went 70% into Nuwa's body. With the help of this Merit, Nuwa's three corpses instantly merged, reaching the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. It then fused with her being, and as Merit was injected, Nuwa's cultivation entered the Saint realm.

The Heavenly Dao Merit was not yet depleted and helped Nuwa advance another level. Nuwa's cultivation now reached the second heaven of the Saint realm.

Of the remaining three portions, one fell into the Qiankun Cauldron, and another fell into the Gourd Vine.

Nourished by Merit, the Qiankun Cauldron appeared even more mysterious. The Gourd Vine directly transformed into the Spiritual Treasure of Innate Merit, the Human Creation Whip.

The last portion drifted towards the Human Race. After circling above their heads, it merged into the River of Destiny of the Human Race.

This was not the end. The second batch of Merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao all floated towards Nuwa. As the Merit integrated, Nuwa's cultivation began to skyrocket.

Third heaven of the Saint realm.

Fourth heaven of the Saint realm.

Fifth heaven of the Saint realm.

It only stopped after reaching the peak of the fifth heaven of the Saint realm.

Nuwa's current cultivation was now on par with Xuan Yi's. Of course, Xuan Yi had too many buffs; in a real fight, Xuan Yi would definitely win.

Nuwa's aura of becoming a Saint spread throughout the Primordial World, and now everyone knew that Nuwa had become a Saint.

The pressure of a Saint also forced the beings of the Primordial World to their knees.

Instantly, the entire Primordial World was adorned with celestial flowers and golden lotuses springing from the earth. The Heavenly Dao bestowed gifts to celebrate Nuwa's sainthood.

Congratulatory voices also echoed from all corners of the Primordial World.

"Congratulations to Empress Nuwa on becoming a Saint! May the Empress enjoy eternal life!"

Nuwa felt her own cultivation and then retracted her Saintly pressure, but the sacred aura that unconsciously emanated from her became even stronger.

"Husband, the second batch of Merit that descended, did you ask the Heavenly Dao for it?"

Nuwa looked at Xuan Yi with affection. She knew Xuan Yi must have pleaded with the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't have bestowed Merit twice in a row.

"Wa'er, the stronger you become, the happier I will be," Xuan Yi said.

Xuan Yi gently caressed Nuwa's face, implicitly admitting it.

"Thank you, Husband! I've become a Saint now! I'll protect you from now on!"

Seeing Nuwa's bold declaration, Xuan Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, alright, you'll protect me from now on. You are the Great Sage Nuwa!"

Xuan Yi embraced Nuwa tightly. It wasn't until Nuwa began to struggle that Xuan Yi noticed they weren't alone.

"Oh, you're so naughty! People are watching!"

Nuwa's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Looking at these humans, Nuwa was unsure how to settle them.

"Husband, how should we settle these humans?"

"The strongest among these humans are the first three I created, but their cultivation is only at the Earth Immortal level. The weakest haven't even entered the path of immortality. With such cultivation, they might become food for other races in the Primordial World!"

Nuwa was worried.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements!"

With that, Xuan Yi summoned his three disciples to his side.

"Six-Eared, Kong Xuan, Great Peng."

"Your disciples are here!"

Upon hearing Xuan Yi call them, the three—Six-Eared, Kong Xuan, and Great Peng—hurried over and knelt before him.

"I have a task for you. If you do well, you will receive great Merit!"

"Please instruct us, Master!"

The prospect of earning Merit made the three drool. They hadn't obtained any Merit since their birth, so they naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

"Good. I need you to protect these humans here on the East Sea Coast until a cultivator at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm appears among them, capable of protecting the clan. When the task is complete, Heavenly Dao will naturally bestow great Merit. Are you willing?"

Protecting humans until a Grand Unity Golden Immortal appeared would take a very long time and be tedious. Most people wouldn't want such a task.

Xuan Yi wouldn't force them if they refused, as he greatly valued his disciples.

"We respectfully obey Master's decree!"

To Xuan Yi's surprise, the three agreed without hesitation.

"Excellent. In that case, you shall remain here and protect the humans. Remember not to neglect your cultivation."

After speaking, his gaze shifted to Nuwa.

"Wa'er, you have become a Saint. What are your plans now?"

"Husband, now that I have become a Saint, I should establish a palace outside the Chaos. This is also Heavenly Dao's will."

Nuwa finished speaking and used her divine power to announce to the Primordial World.

"I am Nuwa, and I will establish Wa Huang Heaven outside the Chaos in three thousand years. Those with fate are welcome to attend the ceremony."

This announcement stirred the hearts of all beings in the Primordial World.

Witnessing a Saint establish a palace was a rare sight.

Meanwhile, Minghe, who was in the Sea of Blood, was greatly moved upon seeing the immense Merit Nuwa gained from creating humans, which even allowed her to become a Saint. He began creating beings in the Sea of Blood.

However, for some unknown reason, the male beings Minghe created were extremely ugly, while the females were as beautiful as flowers.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Minghe, have been inspired by Saint Nuwa's creation of humans today and hereby create a race, named Asura. I pray for Heavenly Dao's observation!"

Whoosh...

As Minghe successfully created the Asura race, Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit. Minghe, who had expected to become a Saint, found that this Merit was only enough to sever his two selves.

This caused the beings of the Primordial World to burst into laughter.

Minghe was utterly bewildered and felt his face burn. He plunged into the Sea of Blood and did not reappear.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing and others looked at Nuwa's ascension to Sainthood with envy.

"Alas, I never expected Junior Sister Nuwa to become a Saint first!"

Nuwa's Sainthood made the Sanqing and others extremely uncomfortable. They had always considered themselves Pangu's orthodox descendants, yet someone became a Saint three thousand years prior, and it was a woman. This was difficult for the arrogant Sanqing to accept.

"I plan to travel the Primordial World to seek an opportunity to become a Saint."

Taishang, the foremost of the Sanqing, ultimately decided to journey through the Primordial World in search of his destiny.

Just as the Primordial World was immersed in the news of Nuwa's Sainthood, a figure was rapidly approaching the Primordial World from the Chaos outside.

Inside Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had already merged with Heavenly Dao, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What must come has come! Heavenly Dao, accompany me to meet the challenge!"
